LSS 440C Stainless Knife Steel is a high-carbon martensitic stainless steel which
exhibits an attainable hardness of approximately 60 HRC. The high carbon content
results in a hard matrix and numerous chromium carbides in the microstructure, which
in turn provide excellent wear resistance and retention of cutting edges. LSS 440C
stainless knife steel should be considered for applications such as specialty knives,
industrial knives, scissors, surgical knives, and other applications which require a
combination of corrosion resistance, wear resistance, or edge retention.
